Dine. Inn.

Of course, there are more than two people who make the Inn a beautiful place to stay, celebrate, dine, and host events. But, it's the consistent management and demand for quality and creative dishes by Owner, Cindy Oerter, and Chef, Salvatore Friedel, that combine to make our guests culinary experience one that they return for.

Owner and Administrator of the Green Fountain Inn, Cindy Oerter, manages the Bed & Breakfast and loves to create and host the lunches indoors and out. Reserve your room or table for lunch today, call Cindy at (715) 258-5171.

Chef Sal's approach to cooking is sincere, focusing on local farms and big flavors first. If the plate presentations are picture-worthy, it's because the local ingredients are perfect in their simpler forms. Sal has worked in Italy and Spain. He was classically French-trained at the New England Culinary Institute in Vermont. The chef is most influenced by the ingredients our bountiful area provides. Chef Sal is an avid forager, legally certified to pick and serve wild ingredients in our cuisine. If you see morels, chanterelles, or other wild ingredients on the menu, he has most likely personally foraged them.

Whether you’re planning a backyard barbecue or a plated multicourse dinner, Chef will vanquish the stresses of your menu planning and create for you, a truly memorable experience.

”Sal and his team did a wonderful job
with our wedding reception.
Their service was great, including several personal touches that made it extra special.
The food was delicious, and the vegetarian option for our guests was well-received.
The Dessert was an apple crisp that kept everyone talking and snacking afterward.
We highly recommend them!”

”We’d been seeing the menus online and couldn’t wait to try! The Buddha bowl was amazing. Having it be 1/3 fruit was a nice touch and the produce was fantastic. Service was amazing, food was fast and of extremely high quality. We plan to go back for dinner!.” —Erik

THE GREEN FOUNTAIN INN
DOWNTOWN, WAUPACA, WISCONSIN

Historically Preserved

The Inn was built in 1900 by P.J. Christofferson, M.D.. He and his brother A.M. Christofferson built the first hospital in Waupaca, which is located behind the Inn and is now a group home run by our owner and proprietor, Cindy Oerter. The house was converted to a bed and breakfast and the Green Fountain was opened in the fall of 1995. Landscaping, gardens, a fountain and statuary were added to unite all three properties. Evening dining is available on both Friday and Saturday nights. The Inn is available to host small weddings, and other intimate gatherings.

At the Green Fountain Inn, our philosophy is to be part of the neighborhood and give back to our community. From dealing with local farmers and resources to entertaining with local talent, we consider our business relationships a bond that we won’t break.

Green Fountain Inn is in the heart of beautiful Waupaca, in the middle of Wisconsin. Enjoy the artsy community and Chain of Lakes (whether shopping, boating, kayaking, fishing, swimming, skiing, birding, or visiting).
